Application Process

To begin, the applicant must complete the Application Form and meet with their manager and a representative from the NPDP Board or a mentor from System Clinical Education. Be sure to review the recognized and acceptable certifications for the NPDP Program resources before completing your application.

The manager is responsible for ensuring no disciplinary action exists and to review and approve proposed portfolio and project plans before work begins on the portfolio.
